Fatigue

Strawberry and spinach energy smoothie

When your to-do list outpaces your motivation and you just can’t find the energy to get anything done, it’s time for some spinach. The leafy green is filled with iron and magnesium, both of which are essential for helping your body effectively use energy.

PMS

Not-so-moody maca smoothie

When bloating, irritability, and crazy hormones kick in, sometimes only miracles can get us through—or the right smoothie. Maca, the key ingredient in this one, is a Peruvian plant said to help with everything from boosting energy levels to regulating hormones.

Anti-aging

Peaches and greens

A few of these juicy fruits a day keep the wrinkles away. Peaches are high in chlorogenic acid, an antioxidant that helps slow the aging process. And thanks to almond milk, this drink is smooth and creamy—almost like a dessert.

Headaches

Watermelon smoothie

Even if they’re not migraine-level, headaches mess with your focus and make you want to climb into a deep, dark, antisocial cave. The easiest way to cure them may not be aspirin but hydration, which is where this cheery pink beverage comes in. Watermelon is about 90-percent H20, so sipping on a cup and a half of it helps take the edge off.

Post-workout pain

Coconut-kale smoothie

While you're trying to get your beach body back, make sure to load up on leafy greens like kale. The green contains a compound that helps combat inflammation, so you can rest easier after showing that treadmill who's boss.

Bad breath

Mint-berry smoothie

So maybe you didn’t heed our advice about starting your day off with a sunshine smoothie, and come early afternoon, you have some pretty intense coffee-breath. Mint, which also contains a phytonutrient that may help prevent multiple types of cancer, is sure to fix that right up.
